Why Are They Giving Way??

I believe I may have made a silly mistake yesterday when I was taking my son to school. I don't normally drive him to school but it was raining and I didn't want to get wet, especially with the car parked outside so I made an exception. Halfway down our road I came across a car coming the other way so I stopped by a rare gap in the cars and flashed to let them through. I sat there for a little while but they didn't come through, instead, THEY flashed me!! Now I thought this very strange, especially because the space was so big but decided what the hell, they've flashed me through now so I went, waving my appreciation as I passed them and thought nothing more of it.

This morning the rain was twice as heavy and twice as wet so I texted hubby to say I was taking the car to school and work! I instantly got a phone call asking how was I going to when he had the keys at work..? Me being gullible I believed him, till I spotted the keys sitting in their usual home! Lying bugger!

So anyway, I took both kids and friend to school and headed up Oxford Street to park on the car park before heading off to work. As I was driving along, there was a car wanting to turn onto James Street so I flashed them over because I was quite a bit back from the junction. It was then that I realised what I'd done the day before! Instead of flashing at the other car, I'd simply attempted to wash my windscreen but hadn't quite pulled hard enough to get the water out! What a plonker I felt!! Had it been dark, I'd have instantly realised, but it was 8:30am, I was still half asleep and I had my son yapping at me from the back seat! Oh well, hopefully I'll remember for next time...
